Me as a cabinetmaker 20 years ago when everything went white everywhere. Why would you throw away these nice maple cabinets for this white melamine?

    Yeah, I've seen a few of the modern home improvement shows where the first thing they do is paint bricks in the house with a thick white latex paint. That's not an improvement. There are other ways to brighten up a place like installing lights...

    Honestly if they replaced stuff with higher quality stuff that needs less maintenance and lasts even longer it would be cool, but it's almost always a net loss of quality over the old stuff.
